Blog paranoia

Published by darkstar11 under 1

Watch your back!

I’ve been a faithful reader of a blog by a teacher from California who is now in hot water (possibly) because of what he  writes on his blog. As much as I enjoy reading the rants and raves of other educators, I’m afraid to be that open on my own blog. Can we lose our jobs because we blog? He’s totally anonymous in his, yet he’s been “traced” and identified. I wish him well, and I will miss his honest writing.

Trying again…

I haven’t posted anything in so long! I was so protective of my privacy this summer, but being back in the classroom has me in a more collaborative mode. I love reading blogs, but don’t exactly know what this one has to say. So…this is another test to see if I still know how to navigate around edublogs. We’ll see.

Spring at Last!

 This is the pretty Spring day I woke up to yesterday. Isn’t it grand? Today, all I can hear is melting snow falling into the recycling bin. Ahhh, the seasons in New England…

Hey, it’s cool. The sun is out, it’s Saturday, and I can walk the dogs in the slush of the local golf course, dreaming of the putts I might make there in another few weeks or so. My teacher pals and I see the glass as half-full; we think it’s all downhill from now until June. The state testing is half over, seniors graduate in eight weeks, and our last laps to the finish line are approaching. Optimism and camaraderie ~ it’s what gets us through a snowy, sleety, Friday at the end of the first week of Spring. Cheers!
